DAZ 3D,
a privately-held company located in Draper, Utah, has been a frontrunner in the
3D content creation and publishing industry since the company's inception in
December of 2000. Creators of Victoria, the single most widely used and
supported 3D human figure commercially available, DAZ 3D is especially known for
its amazingly versatile, realistic, inter-compatible and affordable 3D models
and accessories. The DAZ 3D library contains over 7,000 products, both DAZ
3D-owned and published for a large, loyal community of artists.
DAZ 3D
is also a leading provider of affordable, yet powerful 3D software, including
Bryce - a 3D environment and animation package, Carrara - a complete 3D
modeling, animation and rendering solution, DAZ Studio - a free 3D digital art
creation tool downloaded over 1.5 million times, Hexagon - polygonal modeling
software for the creation of 'ready-to-render' 3D models, and Mimic - a
lip-synching application.
Create Your Own Virtual Worlds
For over a decade,
artists of all mediums - print, video, multimedia or the
web - have known Bryce, the affordable 3D software for
achieving breathtakingly realistic imagery.
The latest incarnation, Bryce 6, will give those artists
along with the new generation of creators the ability to
work faster and create more realistic environments than
ever before. Whether you are a professional designer, or
a 3D graphics enthusiast, Bryce 6 provides you with the
tools to literally create a world of your own.
Bring Life to Your 3D Environments
Make your scenes more realistic by combining imported
animations with your Bryce 6 scenes to create seamless
productions of environments populated with human
figures, animals and other characters. With improved
support of animations created in DAZ|Studio software,
included free with Bryce 6, you can place your
characters directly into your Bryce 6 scenes and have
them walk and talk right before your very eyes. Choose
at what point you want the imported animations to begin,
with the freedom to go back to DAZ|Studio to make any
necessary adjustments to make them perfect. Then simply
re-import those animations back into your Bryce 6 scene.
Work While You Create
Bryce 6 is the ideal 3D software addition to your image
editing toolbox. Now it is easier than ever to add
artwork created in Bryce in conjunction with common
image editing programs to merge photos and 3D artwork
for an unlimited degree of creativity. For inspiration,
take a look at the artwork hosted in the Bryce Gallery
on the DAZ 3D website. There you'll find works created
using nothing but Bryce, as well as many images where
Bryce 3D elements such as terrains, skies, water, trees,
models and more were combined with non-3D elements using
photographic elements and layers in other applications
to achieve the final artwork. Bryce 6 gives you the
freedom to add realistic 3D environments to your
existing workflow without the headache often associated
with learning new tools.

Illustrators, Creative Designers
Carrara is the perfect choice for the design professional looking for a
complete 3D package. It offers complete modeling tool sets, fantastic
landscaping and vegetation features, ultra-rich texturing capabilities,
and state-of-the-art realistic and non-photorealistic rendering. Carrara
software's exceptional richness and ease-of-use will help you to move
beyond the ordinary and give rise to the extraordinary.
Mimic Pro provides an advanced environment for easily creating and
editing facial animation sequences. Take existing WAV audio files of
any language and let Mimic animate your figure for you. Or, record
your own speech file within Mimic's simple recording studio via a
microphone connected to your computer. With the ability to add in
expressions such as winks, nods, and smiles, your figures can easily
become as expressive as your imagination allows.
By creating the facial animation for you, Mimic's Talkback™ engine
will save you hours of production time, allowing you to focus on
other areas of your animation projects. Focus your energy on the
nuances within your animation and make your characters come alive
with real-life mannerisms and body language. The best part is that
with the help of Mimic, you don't have to a be animation master in
order to quickly create convincing facial animation.
Mimic is available for use as a plugin with NewTek's LightWave
(version 7.5 or higher) or as a plugin for Curiouslabs' Poser
(version 3 or higher).
